  1. LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS OF PARASITIC INFECTIONS

  2. Case diagnosis • History (Age, occupation, residency, previous infection) • Complaint • Clinical examination • Invesigations - Laboratory investigations - Radiology - Surgical intervention (Exploratory) Provisional diagnosis Confirm the diagnosis

  3. Ether Dissolve fat M.f Acetic acid RBC haemolysis Clear ova

  4. SEDIMENTATION CONCENTRATION URINE EXAMINATION Clean conical glass receptacle 15-20 min Centrifuge (2 min)

  5. URINE EXAMINATIONMembrane filtration technique air 10 ml urine Nucleopore filter + Saline Eggs of Schistosoma

  6. STOOL EXAMINATION

  7. Saline smear Iodine smear STOOL EXAMINATIONTemporary saline Iodine 1% • Huge number of: • Eggs • Protozoal troph. Motility • (Amoeb, flagellates) • Huge number of: • Cyst morphological details

  8. STOOL EXAMINATIONScanty infectionConcentration techniques Sedimentation Floatation • Non Operculated eggs • Trematodes ( S. m.) • Cestode • Nematode(Hookworms,Trichostong) • Cysts • Heavy eggs (Ascaris egg) • Operculated eggs (Trematodes) • Larvae (Strong sterc.) • Cysts

  9. STOOL EXAMINATIONSaline sedimentation Mesh wire gauze Saline Emulsify Conical flask 10 g stool Sediment

  10. STOOL EXAMINATIONPermanent Stained smears • Iron haematoxylin stain • Trichrome stain • Modified Ziehl Neelsen stain (Crypto.)

  11. STOOL EXAMINATION Kato technique Mesh screen Hole Template Remove the template Cellophane soaked by glycerin (clears faeces( Egg count/ g stool Egg quant. Of: Ascaris, T. trich., Hookworms, S. mansoni

  12. Stool examination • Stoll’s technique for eggs of Ascaris, T. trich., Hookworms, S. mansoni • Baermann’s technique Detec. Of Nematode L. /stool, soil • Cultures for Nematode larvae using Filter paper culture for Larvae of: St. stercoralis (A,L) and Hookworms

  13. NaOH Sputum Centrifuge
